Mario Paint is one of very few titles on the Super Nintendo that works with the SNES mouse, and it was weird going back and trying it present day. Does it hold up well, or really show its age? #shorts
Mario Paint comes from an era, where "playing on the computer" meant doodling on MS Paint. I don't know how much time I spend just paintin random stuff.
Ummm.... That WOULD be the case if Windows were popular back then. BUT it wasn't. In 92 most well-to do families didn't have a computer and the most access kids had to computers were at school, typically Macs with a single button mouse. So correction, playing on a computer typically meant Kid Pix or Oregon Trail or if you were SMART, Hyperstudio.
It may be one of the weirdest Mario titles for the SNES, but it is one of the most nostalgic. I remember always messing up my brother's custom stamps when I was younger, fun times. XD
My two cousins and I, would take turns making hilarious porno using the animation function. Some of the hardest laughs I've ever had in my life as a kid.
@@PaperMario64 You should be able to get just as good performance out of an optical gaming mouse, you tend to be able to fine-tune the sensitivity. The true horrible mouse is the thumb-ball static mouse imo
And was even more harder in the first warioware game. Yes warioware has a the actual Mario paint flyswatter game in the first warioware game and it's exactly like original mini game
I have fond memories playing around with this "game" as a kid. I'd spend hours just doodling stuff or coloring the images preloaded into the game. There was also a minigame where you swatted flies. Very weird now that I reflect on it lol
Lots was left out. There is mini games as well as an animation studio. As well as being able to create your own music! Had so much fun with this when I was a kid
I remember having this game when I was a kid but it was only the cartridge. I remember calling this retro game store in my area every week to see if they got a snes mouse yet, still never got to experience this gem 💔
The real killer for that poor SNES mouse was that awful board they supplied as a "mouse pad". I put an actual foam mouse pad on it back when I was 10 and it worked wonderfully.
the best part of Mario paint was the mini game where you squished flies. If you haven't played it, your missing out on one of the unique experience offered in that generation. It also had an icon maker. So you could create your own Mario styled icons.
Fun fact: On the Super Famicom they later released Mario Paint that can be used with your regular controller so you didn't have to use a mouse. But it was only released in the Japanese market. They also released Mario Artist: Paint Studio for the N64 Disk Drive which was a sequel to Mario Paint but it was only released in Japan.
Hell, old laser mice weren’t much better. Modern optical mice work on just about any surface, but I remember hating my first laser mouse because it would only work on very specific mousepads.
I’ve been wanting this game to get the reboot treatment since highschool in 2005! It’s so nostalgic, he didn’t go over the rest of it, there’s so much to do. The harder levels of the fly game made me anxious as a kid!
I hooked up a drawing tablet to it (in mouse mode) through emulation and surprisingly it’s a really fun little game. Especially with that whack a -mole- bug minigame lol Other than that it’s my go-to “no thoughts head empty” type of drawing software now lol. Just draw the first thing you thought of and stamp stickers on it lmao (while listening to that music you hear in playlists of the same name all the time)
I feel old still remembering using a mouse with a ball in it lol. I would take the ball out and play around with it, and I remember not wanting to switch to lazer when it came out because I felt the ball was better. 😂
I remember in the early days of CZcams everyone making remixes of popular songs in Mario paint. Someone had a really good version of Ms. Jackson done in it that I still have downloaded and listen to quite often.
mario paint was one of my favorite snes games as a kid in the 90's - loved the music maker and the fly swatting game. Was definately a different breed, still is... classic
Trackball mice arent really that bad as people make them out to be, they just gotta be cleaned more often. Their one of my favorite types of mice and ive never had a problem with them.
I found this while scrolling through old games on eBay and I had to look it up. Thanks for the breakdown. It kind of blew my mind that there was a mouse control game on the SNES. I had no idea!
You forgot to mention the Gnat Attack minigame, the coloring books, making custom stamps, and the animation studio, where you can animate your pictures. I always drew some kind of phallic and animated it reaching climax.
I loved Mario paint back then. Played with my older brother and little sister. He would spend most of his time making music. Have a vivid memory of him recreating some song from megaman 2 in it. Was very impressive to me at the time and it’s funny looking back on it now because to this day he spends most of his time composing music nowadays too lol
I had the feeling, that the mouse was not very reliable and that wore down very quickly. But you brought back the memory of cleaning the mice in the library of the University. That was bevor 2012. God I am old.
My childhood, I played that all the time, it was actually so much fun! Loved the flies game, creating tunes 🎶 with flowers and stars and mushrooms xD and making pixel Art 👌🏻♥️
Oh, we still have this, mouse and all. I remember a few years back when my parents showed it to me for the first time and it was wild playing a bunch of old SNES and SN games. And an old atari
Try emulating the game, genuinely works great.
Shhhhh you can't let nintendo know
I was gonna say this, you can do some great things on this game through emulation
Still waiting for the "BuT eMuLaTiOn Is IliGaL" comment...
@@buizelmeme6288 But Emulation is Illegal
@@buizelmeme6288 um actually its downloading roms thats illegal

Same lol
Bored in the library 😅 I had ms paint figured out

My mom said mario paint is the *ONLY* video game she has ever played and has never played another video game since
I still do this
Forgot to mention the flyswatter mini game 🥰
Gnat Attack. It's one of the highlights for me.
I love that they brought it back in Mario Maker.
@megaman161 yes! 🤗🤗
There was bosses and everything lmao that game was awesome
@Jerry Smith darn right it was awesome 👌 lol
I'm surprised anybody brought this up
Funny how the most iconic part of Mario paint isn't the drawing, but the music creator.
Don't forget the mini game with the flyes.
Lol yeah
@@cepahreinholt8710 And they brought that back in Mario Maker
I had so many bangers on Mario paint. Gameboy sound was fire. Second the fly swatting game.
I loved the fly swatting game too.
Fun fact: there's a new mouse called hyperx Snes mouse which is a laser mouse for snes
Also great content
Oh, that’s cool, thanks for sharing!
I have one, use it for sfc games
weed
I have it and it works great.
Good to know, the horror game Clocktower on SNES has a fan patch for SNES mouse support.
When I was a small kid I used to think those track balls came from chicken eggs and were a hardboiled egg yolk lol
I knew the difference but thought the same thing….. brother? Lmao
@Idiots_In_Cars. thats cool, but does he get 00.09 per lap in baby park mkdd timetrials?
You weren't wrong. That's eggsaclty what it is!!
@Idiots In Cars Really??? In a video game related video??? Wrong video, buddy. Mario isn't Jesus. Next time, get it right.

@@suhtangwong Bruh ☠️
Trackballs aren't bad, it's the fact they get filled with dustballs which you have to remove every once in a while.
Fun Fact: Mario Paint came with its own little mouse dirt scraper/cleaning tool.
@@meatpockets how very Nintendo of them, that's amazing.
I actually miss the trackball. Optical mice get annoying when you’re doing detail design work.
@@PaperMario64 You should be able to get just as good performance out of an optical gaming mouse, you tend to be able to fine-tune the sensitivity.
The true horrible mouse is the thumb-ball static mouse imo
He's a young idiot. Too advanced for him.
I used to enjoy cleaning the rollers for the track ball, then the mouse feeling like it was turbo charged. Good times.
The mosquito swatting game was so hard. Probably because of the mouse lol
And was even more harder in the first warioware game. Yes warioware has a the actual Mario paint flyswatter game in the first warioware game and it's exactly like original mini game
I have fond memories playing around with this "game" as a kid. I'd spend hours just doodling stuff or coloring the images preloaded into the game. There was also a minigame where you swatted flies. Very weird now that I reflect on it lol
Yesss I was playing that same game today 😂😂
Mario Paint porn contests at middle school sleepovers was a thing.
Ohhhh yeah the animations. We did that too
The fuck?!
Lots was left out. There is mini games as well as an animation studio. As well as being able to create your own music! Had so much fun with this when I was a kid
I was looking for who else would mention the movie maker
I remember having this game when I was a kid but it was only the cartridge. I remember calling this retro game store in my area every week to see if they got a snes mouse yet, still never got to experience this gem 💔
The real killer for that poor SNES mouse was that awful board they supplied as a "mouse pad". I put an actual foam mouse pad on it back when I was 10 and it worked wonderfully.
CLEAN UR ROOM!
@@paolomarrone6637 ok
I used a regular mouse pad because we lost the one that came with it lol
@@SerenadeURA Just kidding 🤣
@@paolomarrone6637what did u even say
I spent a disgusting amount of time with Mario Paint - probably one of my most played SNES titles ever. I absolutely ADORED this game.
the best part of Mario paint was the mini game where you squished flies. If you haven't played it, your missing out on one of the unique experience offered in that generation.
It also had an icon maker. So you could create your own Mario styled icons.
The flies minigame is in Super Mario Maker too, you have to shake a Muncher for it to appear.
As someone who loves trackball mice, I'm pretty sure I would love this game.
I love them too.
@@PaperMario64 when are they gonna add you to smash 🥺
Fun fact: On the Super Famicom they later released Mario Paint that can be used with your regular controller so you didn't have to use a mouse. But it was only released in the Japanese market.
They also released Mario Artist: Paint Studio for the N64 Disk Drive which was a sequel to Mario Paint but it was only released in Japan.
Back before CZcams was super strict about copyright, there was somebody who actually recreated mainstream songs in Mario Paint and it was awesome.
Ahhh yeah, reminds me of all the Mario Paint covers back in the early days of YT
I made one way back in the day lol
you just have to make sure you have a proper mouse pad as well, because old mice didn't work on as many surfaces as laser mice do
Hell, old laser mice weren’t much better. Modern optical mice work on just about any surface, but I remember hating my first laser mouse because it would only work on very specific mousepads.
Laser mice still don't work on bench tops... Too bad.
I had that tv when I was a kid, and still have it
Played it, loved it. Miss it for nostalgia’s sake
I still remember the day I brought this game home when it came out. Spent all night playing it non-stop.
Honestly, they should bring back Mario paint in 2023.
(Edit: that's a lot of likes)
It would've been good on the DS family, but on the Switch, not so much
Bruh just use your school computer or phone lmao it’s literally just microsoft paint but with mario logo plastered on there😂💀
I’ve been wanting this game to get the reboot treatment since highschool in 2005! It’s so nostalgic, he didn’t go over the rest of it, there’s so much to do. The harder levels of the fly game made me anxious as a kid!
Maybe as their next mobile game
@@christiansantamaria7233 shut up
You forgot the best part of Mario Paint. Flyswatter. That game was hard.
Thats why we have the mario paint music composer
I hooked up a drawing tablet to it (in mouse mode) through emulation and surprisingly it’s a really fun little game. Especially with that whack a -mole- bug minigame lol
Other than that it’s my go-to “no thoughts head empty” type of drawing software now lol. Just draw the first thing you thought of and stamp stickers on it lmao (while listening to that music you hear in playlists of the same name all the time)
Honestly one of the best games of snes, ahead of its time and perfect for playing modern day! 👌
that doodle just screaming "It is I, Meri-oh"
I remember the IT guy used to remove the mouse track balls for April Fools. Fun times.
I feel old still remembering using a mouse with a ball in it lol. I would take the ball out and play around with it, and I remember not wanting to switch to lazer when it came out because I felt the ball was better. 😂
Fun fact: Super Mario Maker is a directo sequel to Mario Paint, which interesting al little
Mike Mateis Art he did in the James and Mike episode seems even crazier now
Those trackballs are *deadly* when you and your buddies are flinging them around the tech lab
The flyswatter mini game with the fly boss is the best part of mario paint
I can hear the piano song in my head
You forgot to mention the best part of the whole game. The bug swatting.
The word subscribe would have never been displayed on Mario Paint before. Feels so majestic lol!
That Mario looks good
I remember in the early days of CZcams everyone making remixes of popular songs in Mario paint. Someone had a really good version of Ms. Jackson done in it that I still have downloaded and listen to quite often.
The fly smashing game was incredible
seeing the strip of light go across the screen is so satisfying
One of my fav classic games. I spent hours on the music creator. ❤
This was one of my favorite games to play growing up.
-"You spent fourty hours to make a Nickleback song..."
Mario Mario
Thanks for the insane throwback moment 😮 so many memories!
I loved Mario Paint! The mosquito slapped was the best lol
Mario paint covers are my lifeblood
Heck yeah. This was one of my favorites as a kid. I feel like they also had like coloring book pages you could fill in.
Best thing about the game is the fly swatting mini game.
"who's been drawin', drawin' diiicks?" 🎶
I WANTED THIS GAME SO BADLY
My favorite part about it was when you would put the little funny child head note down and it would make a goofy noise
mario paint was one of my favorite snes games as a kid in the 90's - loved the music maker and the fly swatting game. Was definately a different breed, still is... classic
I spent soooo many hours on this game. The sounds from this game will stick with me forever.
Ughhh I miss the chunky tv from my childhood
You could also add crude animation to the paintings. There was also the swatter mini-game. Great memories!
Trackball mice arent really that bad as people make them out to be, they just gotta be cleaned more often. Their one of my favorite types of mice and ive never had a problem with them.
Oh man, when I was a kid, those orbs on the top for color selection looked so delicious. Hahaha.
The greatest thing about this game is the OST people have made with the music
Color A Dinosaur, on the other hand, is a masterpiece of a game.
One of the most entertaining games ever. So many great childhood memories
this game’s sound track is so nostalgic for me
I found this while scrolling through old games on eBay and I had to look it up. Thanks for the breakdown. It kind of blew my mind that there was a mouse control game on the SNES. I had no idea!
I remember playing this when I was a kid...brings back some memories...the music part was badass
One of my favourite games as a kid. I used to love the music creator and the fly swatter mini-games.
The Brothers Chaps actually made the very first Homestar Runner cartoon on Mario Paint 💜
I remember messing with the track ball on the mouse as a kid. Everything was new to me and I was easily satisfied with it
Man I made so many songs in Mario Paint! Loved it as a kid.
Nintendo created the evolution of my singing monsters composer
You forgot to mention the Gnat Attack minigame, the coloring books, making custom stamps, and the animation studio, where you can animate your pictures. I always drew some kind of phallic and animated it reaching climax.
I remember being obsessed with Mario Paint in 2008 because people would make so many song covers with it.
The bug smacking mini game was the only reason you played it
I loved Mario paint back then. Played with my older brother and little sister. He would spend most of his time making music. Have a vivid memory of him recreating some song from megaman 2 in it. Was very impressive to me at the time and it’s funny looking back on it now because to this day he spends most of his time composing music nowadays too lol
I loved this back in the day, it was so delightfully weird.
getting my Wario Ware DIY vibes here
The fly slapping game was epic.
Duuuuude! I used to play with the music feature on Mario Paint for hours at a time. It was such a cool and crazy little thing to play around with.
During computer class in elementary, I would play with the ball
Wow! The music staff brings back memories! Thanks for sharing! 👾👾👾
The mario maker on that time
ill never forget slamming those ball mouses trying to get the pointer across the screen.
I played it when I was little. Parents had their old SNES from their kiddo days :)
This was one of my absolute favorite games as a kid. Me and my brother would play it for hours lol
I had Mario Paint growing up (still have my SNES), so much fun drawing and making music. How the times change!
Oh you know a professional painter is gonna make the mona lisa or something on that thing.
I had the feeling, that the mouse was not very reliable and that wore down very quickly. But you brought back the memory of cleaning the mice in the library of the University. That was bevor 2012. God I am old.
I adore your little mario painting!

Ive still got mine with my dad's handwriting on it. It's one of my most prized possessions. He died in 2000 when I was 12. Good memories
I played this as a kid growing up and loved making music and playing the fly swatter game on it
This is my most wanted SNES game for my collection. My attachment to it is probably because I’m an artist.
People full on orchestrate with the music maker, they’re crazy
Oh, we still have this, mouse and all. I remember a few years back when my parents showed it to me for the first time and it was wild playing a bunch of old SNES and SN games. And an old atari
